Moreover, it is a naturally evolved survival mechanism to avoid an unwanted situation with the help of others around. According to the findings of Adams et al(2006), two studies suggest that there is accuracy in detecting movements in angry and fearful faces, either moving towards or away from the observer. They found that observers were quicker to correctly identify angry faces moving towards them, suggesting that anger displays convey the intent to approach. However, the results were not the same for fear faces, which may indicate that fear signals a "freeze" response rather than a behavior of fleeing. Therefore, translating the emotions of one party to another has an essential role in sharing “data” collected from the outer world sensed by human body receptors. Besides the expressions of emotion being a means of non-verbal communication, unlike the gestures that can change from culture to culture, they are also relatively universal. According to Ekman(1970), basic emotions have a pancultural nature in that they are identified and also expressed in similar ways in different cultures with the same facial muscle responses. | Moreover, it is a naturally evolved survival mechanism to avoid an unwanted situation with the help of others around.

The embodiment of emotions through facial expressions is a mean of communication with the outer world. However, it is distinctive from vocal communications etc. by not being self-reflective that people cannot see or feel the immediate effect of their actions. Rather it is moving to the other party to be evaluated and has its effect on them and that is where the reflection forms. So one person feels the emotion but the other one sees the facial expression. The viewer is the bridge to the outer world as well as the reflection of the inside. | |||
To explore the nature of these interactions through facial expressions of emotions in a bigger picture and to disrupt the woven structure of daily life, InterFace pursues to create a space for emphasizing the power of these individual emotions becoming visible and vivid for the outside world. | To explore the nature of these interactions through facial expressions of emotions in a bigger picture and to disrupt the woven structure of daily life, InterFace pursues to create a space for emphasizing the power of these individual emotions becoming visible and vivid for the outside world. | ||
